With 1231, 576 for Bernie Sanders. So everything up for grabs tomorrow, including about 367 republican delegates. 792 democratic ones. Obviously florida and ohio are getting attention. You can understand why. The winner take all states. Ohio where the polls are just about even. And florida where marco rubio is in the fight of his life. Blake burman in miami with the very latest and now the Sunshine State is faring. Sir. Hi, neil, yeah, thats a good way to put it. Marco rubio is indeed fighting for his political future. It was in 2010 that he carried the state and his senate race with 50 of the vote and a threeperson race. Now it is a fourperson race and the numbers show that rubio is nowhere near there and not really even approaching donald trump in this winner take allstate. 99 delegates. The latest polling came out just a little while ago from university. Let me show you the numbers real quick. It has trump all the way up at 44 . Rubio trailing by 17 points at 27. There have been a slew of polls here. And about the last 24 to 48 hours or so in florida. And this kind of fits with the theme. Rubio trailing in the high teens, either low 20s. The real clear politics. Com polling average has rubio down 18 this poll 17. Today rubio is going to be all up and down the state of florida. He is starting in the northern part of the state. Will be driving down, making four stops. Ending his day here in the miami area, which is his hometown. And he is trying to tell just about anybody who is willing to listen despite this numbers, he feels hes got a real chance to win this thing tomorrow. Tomorrows a day where were going to shock the country. And were going to do what needs to be done. Were going to win the 99 delegates here in florida. And its going to give us the momentum we need to go into arizona and utah. And beyond. Neil, just a couple of numbers to throw at you real can quick. Here in florida theres both early voting and absentee voting. 2million people have voted in this state. On the republican side, its 1. 1 million. On the democratic side about 805,000. That is potentially significant because more republicans have cast their ballots so far as an early absentee as democrats. However, in florida there are more democrats than republicans. 4. 5million to 4. 2 million. So that potentially suggests that trump enthusiasm that weve been seeing all over the country, the rubio people might want to see its enthusiasm for their candidate. But like weve seen so far, more voters coming in on the republican side than democratic. Neil,. Neil all right. Thank you very, very much. I just want to alert you. And speaking of florida, sarah palen has canceled the plan. We have no idea why. But back to this event with Chris Christie before we get into the deal here, this is Chris Christie on the new jersey papers expressing frustration that he is spending still so much time out of state. So what is in it for Chris Christie as he sort of plays the talk show host roll here asking donald trump questions as a moderator with an audience. A large trump audience as to why he would be a good president. Donald trump that is. The there. What do you think of Chris Christies role as of has been a commonplace. He travels a great deal with donald trump. Has already raised the eye of the newspapers he should leave office if hes going to spend so much time away from the state. Cynically, you wonder what hes after. Maybe he genuinely does support donald trump and campaigns what do you thinks going on here . Oh, i think hes looking for for his next job. Hes not looking like hes going to finish up strong as a second term governor of new jersey. He spent a lot of time running for president himself. And now hes spending a lot of time helping donald trump. And most people believe that hes looking for a position as attorney general or something in a trump administration. Neil well, that would be a given. With any candidate, i mean he would be a default choice whether you like him or not. Its prosecutorial skills are pretty legion there. Right. Neil but do you think hes hanging on simple higher than the running may the spot . Maybe. You know, neil, i actually think hes a better surrogate for donald trump. Particularly in light of what happened this weekend than someone like sarah palin. Someone like donald trump who has really doubled down on what happened as his rallies ilitynterviews yesterday, he for his rhetoric, which you heard jake tapper at that debate on thursday night list quote after quote after quote from donald trump. I think in this time where hes seen as increasingly divisive even more so than he was five days ago, he would be much smarter campaigning with someone like Chris Christie or ben carson or even jeff sessions, the people whove endorsed him who were more sort of governing figures than someone like sarah palin. And, again, i dont know why just like you, that event was canceled. Neil yeah. But he needs if hes a unifier, he needs to say he is. And i think Chris Christie is more helpful to him than some other surrogates. Neil yeah, i focus on this too much. But something i raised with Chris Christie when we were in New Hampshire hours before he got the bad news that he didnt perform so well there. He was open to that idea even then. But if you argue the traditional role of a running mate is to be that attack dog or carry the in your face mission of the campaign, he would be good at that. But im wondering the dangers. If you look at donald trump as a frontrunner, which he is for now. And you listen to donald trump saying that he needs an established politician to sort of ease peoples angst about this being a renegade ticket, christie could fit that bill. Absolutely. And we know hes very good at attacking Hillary Clinton and that is the role of the vp candidate. To really take that on. Even though i dont think that it would be entirely delegated to the vp if donald trump were the top of the ticket. Neil thats true. But, yes, Chris Christie is very articulate and very effective attacker. That was the appeal that he would be one of the best people to take on Hillary Clinton. And i think that, you know, he could be hes a good fit for the vp job for donald trump whos going to look for someone who has governed and who has had executive experience in government. And i think Chris Christie would be happy to take the job. Everyone says they dont want vp, neil. But a heartbeat away from the president. Neil youre right. So many have become president s that route. Let me ask you something what has happened with the violence at some of the trump events, and its obviously focusing more attention on the candidates tone. Candidate goes out and says you dont get this with other campaigns because their numbers are so much smaller. And im not the one galvanizing these protesters. Media matters and some of these other left wing sites. The ones forming this avengers of liberal causes to target him and to embarrass him. What do you make of that . You know, that might be true. But i think once it becomes a sort of narrative about your campaign. And i go back to this quotes that were read to him as a debate. None of which he denied and none of which he promised to say ever again. He did not indicate that he was going to reverse course. Either at the debate thursday night or what happened in chicago. And friday night or any of his interviews of his many interviews yesterday. So what what i think is if hes trying to tell the rest of the party to unite behind him, particularly voters in the general electorate unite behind him, and hes trying to be president of the United States, which is a job had a requires more than a fighting attitude of the leader of an insurgency, hes going to have to respond even it organized protests with a more unifying and calming voice and not sort of double down and encourage people to fight back like ben carson was saying in an interview this morning. Trump supporters that rallies might have to. Its just not going to help. Earlier needing to position himself now as someone who can unite and actually be president which in and of itself is more than just a job. You really are the leader of the free world and eventually hes going to have to show the decency and dignity and calm and measure that that job requires in order to win over republicans who is theyll never vote for him. Democrats and independents alike. Neil we shall see. Thank you very much. Good seeing you. Thanks. Neil well, john kasich has been saying and was telling me again this past weekend that the problem isnt so much donald trump insight crowds as much as providing the environment that does. Listen to this. Neil what did you think of what happened last night . Well, i didnt see it until i got back to my hotel room. And, you know, frankly donald has created a very toxic environment. And its really dividing people. Neil well, turns out the kasich match communications advisor, and i always think that you guys are giving donald trump a bad name on this. He gets tens of thousands who go to his events. Surely just a fraction of those given the numbers will act up and rant and rave and weve already gotten indications these are coordinated attacks in many situations. So can it all be pegged to donald trump . No. It certainly cant. The people are responsible for the protest at these events and disruption are the protesters themselves. Donald trump and his supporters have a right to go to rallies and to hear their candidate. But when they do turn ugly as they have, and as the rhetoric gets amped up as it has, it is creating what governor kasich called a toxic environment. That is not going to be good for uniting the party come november. This is interesting because of course last week we heard donald trump talk about how hes shifting to become a uniter. And then we have this kind of divisive and really frankly ugly scene on friday. And were not going to referee whos mostly responsible but at some point the candidate needs to step up and talk about what theyre for. And thats why john kasich is rising in National Polls and poll out last week shows him coming up fast on donald trump. Were going to win ohio tomorrow. Were up six points in two polls. And were looking good. Mitt romneys campaigning with governor kasich today. So neil do you think that happens . Yes. Neil in that state whatever you think of mitt romney, hes seen as such an establishment guy, has it out for donald trump. So it might be divisive in the eyes of many. Hes got the support right now of former speaker john boehner. And im wondering if thats the kind of support you need or want even at this stage in a campaign. Now, i know there are some polls that show, you know, your candidate leading. Others show that its a virtual tie. But do you think this sort of stuff these sort of endorsements in a weird way hurt him . No. I think all endorsements help john kasich because thats the part of the campaign where we are, neil. Were starting to bring the party together. And john kasich is the one that people are looking to as the one that can actually do that versus ted cruz or donald trump who are divisive figure. Neil yeah. And not going to unite the country and the party. So absolutely we welcome endorsements from mitt romney, although that wasnt an endorsement. Just campaigning with him. But we had senator rubio saying that people should vote for john kasich in ohio. And were going to see more and more neil yeah, that was a little weird. It was almost like a concerted effort on anyone but trump to slow trumps momentum. That was the idea; right . Well, look, this isnt so much about stopping trump as its starting a new renewal of the american economy. Of leadership in washington and john kasich is best position to do that. You look at the wall street journal editorial today, it talks about john kasichs path forward. And its very realistic. Were going to win tomorrow in ohio, and then were going to be in pennsylvania, which john kasichs home state. Neil no, the math i dont know why people exclude anyone at this stage of the game. Having said that real quickly with Chris Christie sitting next to donald trump again, do you think hes angling for the vp slot . Well, we dont know what hes angling for. John kasich is focused on his campaign and winning. But hes going to go from pennsylvania to utah and having mr. Romney today helps him in utah. Neil what do you think of Chris Christie . Angling for more than just attorney general. A lot of republicans when they asked i hope your candidate goes all the way. But he seems to be everyones number one choice or number two. In other words, everyones number one choice given how important ohio is to the party, given the fact that he leads Hillary Clinton by 20 points in ohio that he would be the guy to be a number two. Should it come to that. Not Chris Christie. What do you say . Im not sure if youre saying john kasich should be the vp. Neil if he doesnt get it. Hes going to get it, were marching forward and things are looking very good. Neil thank you very much for indulging my silly political questions. Always good to see you. Thank you. Neil we just heard another disrupter i guess theyre called now. No one was shown the door or pushed out. But this is the kind of stuff that will happen at these events. Gets a lot more scrutiny than it did lets say last week at this time. And i stress violence is overstating it. The volatile nature of a Campaign Event in chicago that was ultimately shelfed. And then you had donald trump pulling literally secret Service Agents surrounding him. So lets just say in that kind of environment people are pins and needles. Were there. More after this [alarm beeps] the intelligent, allnew audi a4 is here. Aint got time to make no apologies. Being hacked and intellectual property being stolen. That is cybercrime and it affects each and every one of us. Microsoft created the digital crimes unit to fight cybercrime. We use the microsoft cloud to visualize information so we can track down the criminals. When it comes to the cloud, trust and security are paramount. Were building what we learn back into the cloud to make people and organizations safer. Neil whether its coordinating as donald trump folks see it or whether there is something to it. But a lot of left leaning groups plan these coordinated showups as trump events. And with so many allowed in, it doesnt take many to disrupt an affair. Even when he has tens of thousands who go to them. Niger says this is all the proof that you need that these are not necessarily trumpinspired events. Niger is supporting donald trump. I hasten to add; right . You still like donald trump. I absolutely still like donald trump. I should state for the record, though, my Group Tea Party forward have endorsed ted cruz. But we know its going to take supporters of donald trump, supporters of ted cruz to unite this party and to win in the general election. Neil but, niger, ted cruz, he was among those who would say, well, he certainly h elicits the tone. That is donald trump what do you think of that. Yeah. Im not supportive of that actually. I think kasich has said similar things, marco rubio have said similar things, and theyre to the media narrative which is donald trump is responsible for it. Thats not true. The reality is you have a lot of these left wing groups, many of whom are sponsored by george and his monies. Post 9 11 antiwar groups like answer. Theyre black lives matter. Theyre the leftovers from occupy wall street. And you just contract the narrative of the dominant establishment media about occupy wall street and how this is such a wonderful thing, people exercising their First Amendment rights. And then donald trump the has these disruptions at his rallies and somehow gets blamed for it. Neil well, he has said a lot of tens of thousands of peopl. Neil come on. He has said things now, obviously hes not telling those in the audience go after the protesters, but he has made the remarks that you could easily interpret is he egging the crowd on . And now what im asking for is as he moves forward and looks more and more like the nominee, should he change his tactic, his tone . I think he is going to make a pivot regardless of these protesters and these agent prospectivers that are there to disruptive. I think he already decided that should he win the nomination, he was definitely going to make a pivot and be much more calming. Neil but should he do that now . So the media is going to jump on him anyway. This provides a rare opportunity to do just that. So i definitely see where youre coming from that. But if you are going to want to be president , should you start at least sounding more president ial . Youre right. We might have seen signs of that with this chat hes doing with Chris Christie. He is at least by the two counts ive seen allowing protesters to stay in the room. He hasnt kicked them out to my knowledge. But you think he should do more of that . Less of that . Well . Well, hes got to be careful. Hes got to walk a tightrope. He should pivot and be a little bit more of a unifier and have a unifying message. At the same time he does not want to be in a situation like Bernie Sanders was in where he was making a speech and literally the microphone was snatched from him by two black lives matters protesters. You do not want donald trump doing that. His supporters would not like it. The base of the Republican Party would not like it. And quite frankly, neil, there are a lot of independents and democrats quite frankly that are angry at the left wing and how they have dominated the airwaves and the narrative and are looking for a little push back. Neil yeah, youre right about that, niger. Thank you very much. Good seeing you again. Good seeing you. Neil it didnt get nearly as much coverage but black live matters protesters actually stormed the stage he was on. Talking about being a physical threat to a candidate. And theyve also disrupted a number of Hillary Clinton rallies. So why is it that trump protests are getting so much attention . All im advocating. If you want to go into protests, cover them all. Believe me. Theyre out there. All of them. Moan while oil prices are sliding away today. Are they sliding because theyve gotten s
